On Sunday, March 7, 2021, I arrived on the cold and blustery summit of Mount Blue in Weld, Maine. I climbed the rime ice-covered steps of the summit observation platform just in time to watch the view before sundown. The cold wind cut through me, but I was enthralled by the red blush of snow and ice at sunset, with a view that stretched from Mount Katahdin all the way west to Mount Washington. The air was of the utmost clarity on that cold winter day.
